Background Info

It's been said that I am not an open book. I can live with that. But don't be surprised that I now have a blog. The purpose is to give everyone a place to get the latest on Marye's condition. Also, this way I won't have to make numerous calls to all of Marye's fans to keep everyone updated (she has a lot of fans). Having said that, I'm more than happy to talk to her fans and give any additional information or answer questions to anyone. I just prefer to do that via private phone calls or emails, which is why I'm using this and not a Facebook group.

I'll start by giving the background of what's happened since July 30, 2011, then start with daily updates. Start at the bottom for the whole story.

I will try to update this page every day as often as possible with her treatment and status. As I get more familiar with the features, I'll add links and email features, etc. Thanks.

No really, you didn't think this was going to be easy, did you?

It's 12:30 am on Saturday, and we're in the ER at University Hospital in Louisville.  Marye's temperature was up all day, so Dr. Riley told us to come on down and try to find out what's going on.  We were both a little perturbed, as she just started antibiotics last night and they really didn't even have a chance to work yet.  Actually, I was a little perturbed; Marye is absolutely distraught about being in the hospital again.  But here we are.

Anyway, they've taken all the usual samples of everything to do cultures.  Of course, we won't get the results until tomorrow or Sunday, but her white blood cell count is not elevated.  That could be a function of the chemo, so anything is possible.  We're waiting for the internal medicine doctors to come in and examine her, then she'll be admitted.  Don't know for how long.  I'll post more tomorrow when we know something.
